Well im going Hms raleigh on 8th May 2011. When i had my Eyetest done i met
Standard VA2 The optician never said anything about glasses to me just gave me my eyesight fourm back. Im just wondering if i did need glasses would i be ssent home from Raleigh if i didnt have them or would i get issued a pair down their.
Or would i be better of just getting a pair just to be safe dont realy want to spend £80 odd pound on a pair because moneys tight atm. But if it has to be done i will do.
I can perfectly see with 1 eye its just my left eye what let me down because im a bit short sighted in it.
Thankyou

As ever....your CA should be your first port of call for any concerns, however tthe very helpful Angry Doc might be around to answer your concerns at somepoint. If you also have a concern......could always get the eyes checked again and then ask Optician if he feels you need glasses

Thankyou i was planning on giving the opticians a call anyway sometime this week because they should still have my results. Because i re-took my eye test less than a month ago.

If you know your eyesight has deteriorated, then you must inform your AFCO as different trades require differing standards & it's a condition of entry into Naval service that you must keep us informed of any changes in personal circumstances.

The good news is that only aircrew need to be VA1, however Warfare trades need to meet VA2. Prescription lenses are paid for by the service.

Thankyou for the advice. My eyesight has stayed exactly the same from when i did my eye test in 2009 But they couldn't use the results what they got off that one because it was to old. And i had to take a knew one but nothing has changed

One of the best ways to sort out the problem is to walk into the nearest shop to where you live. When the bloke asks what you want, just say in a loud voice:

"I need an eye test, madam"

Traditionally, the proprieter will respond: "You certainly do sir, this is a greengrocers". They usually then point you in the direction of an optician.

Be aware nowadays, it is considered good form to help yourself to a large plasma TV before exiting the shop and bidding him "Good day".
